On June 30, 2009, Meadow's Phoenix, Morgan stallion extraordinaire, passed from this mortal earth. I was with him. I hope my presence eased his way into his next life. He took part of me with him. I will surely miss his regal presence at his gate every day, and his sunbathing sojourns in his paddock, and the way he welcomed every mare we unloaded with that "Is she for me? " attitude. I will miss his kindness, affection, his great beauty, lovely head, and the smoothness of his gaits. He was bred by Dan and Lucy Redman of Meadow Haven Morgans, Raleigh, North Carolina. I knew the moment I saw him that this horse was for me. He was eighteen months old at the time. There will never be another Phoenix. He was one of a kind. For twenty-six years he was my show horse, and my personal riding and driving horse. He showed for ten years at open and 'A' rated breed shows, winning fifty-three championships in western pleasure, English pleasure, and driving. Most of these championships were celebrated with Dunkin' Donuts and beer . . . his favorite treats. Phoenix sired thirty-six foals - primarily fillies. Many went on to be show horses in classic pleasure, English pleasure, western pleasure, hunter, and open jumping. Some were just loved family horses. His daughters will carry on for him. When the going was tough, Phoenix was tougher. He had more heart and stamina than any other horse I've ever met. I was and am honored to be his owner, his champion, and his love . . . until we meet again, Phoenix. ~ Lee Hewitt ~ Photo copyright Howard Schatzberg Photo copyright Nascimbeni Photographics Photo copyright Debrah H.
